RUSSIA (P ItIVATI: CORIIESPONDKNCE,) The Arittarchxs, a French journal, gives the following account of the manner in the prohibition of private correspondence from Russia to Foreign Countries is evaded : " In Russia all persons are prohibited, as well strangers as natives, front privately transmitting a settled letter beyond the limits of the empire,—even the couriers dispatched by Foreign Ambassadors are liable to be arrested if any auch letters should he round in their possession. Certain individuals of the Hebrew persuasion have, however, discovered the mesas of evading this rigorous prohibition. Linder very important circum stances a dispatch it written in Hebrew or Chaldean, upon conse cutive leaves in the form of a book, and transmitted to a cor. respondent at Alittau, in Courland. On arriving in that city, they are annexed to some religious book in Hebrew, and then delivered to one bf the Jewish smugglers—men totally ignorant of the ancient languages, and consequently not aware of the importance of what is thus confined to their care. . fly these men who are versed in entire arts and tricks of smuggling the book is conveyed across the Niemen, and finally to its destination at Konigsberg or Dantzic. A similar mode of correspondence is adopted between Moscow and Warsaw.— The dispatch is transmitted from that City 'to the Oder, and finally to Thorn or Dresden, whence it is forwarded to Frank fort, Paris, or London." The Post this morning, we regret to say, brought us the following Letter, dated NEWCABTLE.UPON-TYNE, JAN. 10: I deeply lament that I have' toitabrin you of .a truly melon. choly accident which h a pp ene d, et nn early hour this morning, at Jarrow.colliery, in the county Durham, the' proprietors of which are the highly respectable firm of Tllo3lAll and llonttur Molex, Es9uwes, London. The lower seam of this colliery, which hi designated the Bensham Seam, is known to abound in hydrogen gas, and consequently the workmen are perfectly aware of the strict necessity there is of paying every attention to their proc,cedings, while at work in this seam. At present it is not known what occasioned the explosion, w h ic h has, it is feared, proved so fatal to such a num ber of lives: nineteen men. and boys. it is already, as• certained, are the victims of this sad mishap ; and as there were in all 42 men and boys at work in the seam where the explosion took place ; great apprehensions arc entertained for the safety of the remaining 23. humanity really shudders at the many serious accidents that have happened in the coal. mines in this district within the last ten or twelve years. Some thing, if it were possible, should be attempted beyond Sir IL DAv v's safety-lamp, to guard those poor miners from the sad fate that every now and then overtakes them, as it would appear the lump alluded to is insufficient. The head viewer, or director of the mine, at Jarrow, is universally acknowledged to be a gentleman of lint-rate abilities and of great scientific attainment; and no doubt, therefore, every thing was properly attended to on his part. 'But still, as these lamentable events seem rather increasing than diminishing, it is a duty incum bent on men of talent to try to hit upon some more effectual preventive than any thing we are yet acquainted with.

As the genuine spirit of masking, whe. ther of tun dr of intrigue, is not to be found at public exhibi tions of this nature in London, an extended spate, and a numerous assemblage are advantageotta—they at least increase the chance, that if true whim and humour be wanting, show and bustle will he substituted. This Theatre is well adapted to 'ltch a purpose, and the arrangements were so contrived as to render its capabilities available. A platform was placed over the pit, making the whole interior into one large saloon, at each end of which, in an elevated orchestra, was placed a band, the orchestra at the back of the stage Wag slur. mounted by a large illuminated crown, with the letters G. R. The effect en the whole was striking, and well suited to such an occasion. In the room adjoining the' boxes, fitted up as a Theatre, another band played quadrilles.— The company was of the usual kind, and their deportment of the usual cast. The gentlemen obviously felt the mask only as an incumbranec, and were little disposed to avail themselves of its protection for the indulgence of waggery and mischief; and to the ladies it would be unjust to deny that bounteous good nature, which withhold unwillingly from mankind in ge neral the pleasure that may be derived from the contempla tion of beauty. The characters presented no novelty; and indeed moat of the persons who supported them are as well known to the frequenters of masquerades as the regular performers to the frequenters of Theatres. — The dresses were generally good. There were some Spa niards superbly apparelled; a Mexican very accurate in attire, a '.lurk decorated In the true Ottoman style, and others not less successful in costume. *Rubor the feats too were tolerably well sustained.

De tween one and two o'clock, a great portion of the motley all semblnge recruited their spirits with a sapper , and Nireight'a champagne, and afterwards returned Metre Sway; if not raft witty, to the scene of their amusement, where they continued at an advanced hour of the morning, Catet.vrwttast, JAN. 19.--.

The fancy ball at Alstone-lawn has been sue (-ceded by a second, which was given by ~the lion. Airs. Frank land, and by a third, which was kept up last night to a late hour, at Mrs. Hamilton's; many of the characters were good, and all three went off with much spirit.

RPMAttICATILE DAY.—ThiS day h tho annivera miry of Saint Fabian : he was the nineteenth Bishop of Rome, and ascended the Papal Chair in $4.36, Wag the successor of St. Anterus. Having .held the dignity for fifteen years, he was martyred at the commencement of the persecution under Dc, tilts. lie was a Roman by birth, and remarkable for the purity of his life and zeal in promoting Christianity. This day.is also remarkable as the anniversary of tiw execution of Elisabeth Barton, commonly called the Holy Maid of Kent, a religious impostor, with her contederates, in the tisne of Henry VIII., at Tyburn, 1b34; of the meeting of the third Parliament of Charles the First, .1620; death of David Garrick, 177:t ; and of America being declared an Independent State by England, 1703. The Moniteur of the 13th inst. says—the failure of M. lixttnvr, Mayor and Notary of St. Denys, who has disappeared, carries ruin and desolation among a number of families in this Commune. lie wit s the depository of fortunes both great and small, and both parties are the dupes of his knavery. Widows have lost their dowry, minors their fortune, workmen their hard-earned savings,and capitalists their moneys w hi c h t h ey f anc i e d th e y had deposited out of the reach of the trickery of stock-jobbing. M. BAtt- DET'S appearance being that of a sage rather than a sinner, and withal very reserved, the most ge neral confidence was placed in him. Ile was ad. dieted to no species of luxury—he had no taste for expense of any sort, either as to his house or his person—in short, ho was, as it turns out, a very Mafia Te. It is to be hoped the laws w ill yet be made to reach this arch-hypogritet SEA GULLS.—Yesterday morning an immense flight of sea gulls were seen in the neighbour hood of Brantford ; several of them were shot near Twickenham Ayot, by some bargemen. These birds are very rarely seen so high up the river, and is said to be indicative of the approach of severe weather. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COVRT.—(T}rs DAY.} George Andrew Fox was opposed by Messrs. !Wittepon. and Co., Messrs. Nicholls and Rutson, and Mr. John Batten, all of whom appeared in person.—Mr. lIKATR supported the pt. titihrim—k was alleged against the insolvent that he had coif, tracted debut at a time when he lied not a reasonable expects lion of discharging them, and had fraudulently made away with, or concealed his property. The insolvent was examined at great length by his several oppoaing creditoes, relative to the disposition of effects in his possession before be rendered, to prison. It appeared that he had been induced to accept, a bill of exchange for a person of the name of Macdougal, who promised to advance hintmoney to, carry on his 141FirlOSM--- but he neglected old° so. At length the Insolvent wasar.. rested by Mr. Collins; a Solicitor, the holder of the hilt. Mr. Heath saidithat Mr. Collins was the holder of, all the .bills, and near forty. prmcipcs of , action could l?e prodoced, as issued by that person, who, however, did not venture to come info Court to oppose the insolvent. The insolvent stated, that at the time. he gave the bill which kd to his Imprisonment, he owed no ilebt, of his ewn upon whieFehecould be arrested; he never received a farthing on the bill; upon which he was arrested. It appeared however, that when he was out on bail, ,he con. tracted a debt for timber, and stated at the time that he should be able to pay for it when'the credit expired. Mr. IlEavKaddressed the Court on behalf Of the Insolverit, .and subinitted that there had been no proof that the insolvent had not reasonable expectation at the time he contracted the debts, which formed the ground' for opposition. The CHtra , CoatCoataerBSlONEß obeerved, that several of the. creditors had failed to make out a ease, but not so Mr. Battess, of whom the insolvent had bought furniture which his circum. itences did not warrant; the Court would therefore confine him 'for a short period at the suit of that creditor. • , The prisoner was ordered to stand for judgment when his schedule shall have been amended. Wm. Mitton was before the Court on the 213th. of November last, when he was remanded generally to produce certain books or papers, connected, or supposed to be connected, with his estate ad effects. The insolvent hail thus complied with the order.of Court, and obtained leave to come up this day for his discharge,; but, upon his mine being called, the officer of the prison where he is confined declared him to be out of custody. Upon enquiry, it turned out, that the night before he was to have come up, for his discharge, the detaining and opposing creditor sent down his discharge, to the gate of the prison, and he was in comequence liberated. It often falls to the lot of public Journalists to record the frauds commi ted by Insolvent Debtors, but it would appear that the fraud does not always lie on one side, for the conduct of this opposing ertditor appears highly repre hensible. After having kept his debtor in prison for several months, and put him to the expenco of petitioning this Court, the detaining creditor, by his own act, closes the door of liberty which the Legislature had operate to an unfortunate insolvent. It would be well that there should be an enactment to prevent a recurrence of this frequent and oppressive grievance. SPORTING I N'rELLIGENCE. STATE or Tint ODDS.— ETTINO-ROOM, JAM. W.
